Sygnum Integrates Bybit Into Bank-Grade Off-Exchange Custody Network - Institutional Security Just Leveled Up

Banking meets crypto exchange in landmark custody partnership that finally gives institutional players the security they've been begging for.

Sygnum—Switzerland's crypto-native bank—just plugged Bybit directly into its institutional-grade custody infrastructure. No more transferring assets between exchanges and external wallets. The integration lets traders move funds seamlessly while maintaining bank-level security throughout.

Why This Changes Everything

Institutions hate exchange risk. They've watched too many platforms blow up with client funds still on the books. Sygnum's network offers proper segregation—assets never touch exchange balance sheets, cutting counterparty risk to near-zero.

Bybit gets bragging rights as the first major exchange to offer this setup. Their VIP clients now access Swiss banking security without sacrificing trading liquidity. It's the holy grail: security without compromise on execution.

The Bigger Picture

This isn't just about convenience. Regulatory pressure is forcing exchanges to clean up their custody acts. Those who don't partner with qualified custodians will get left behind—or worse, regulated into oblivion.

Sygnum's move signals where the industry's headed: proper banking infrastructure for digital assets, not the wild west cowboy custody that's somehow still acceptable in 2025. Because nothing says 'professional' like finally doing what traditional finance figured out centuries ago—don't keep client money where you trade it.
